A Driveway at Piedmont High School HISTORY AND SITUATION This school was established seventeen years ago. Under the generous patronage of the people, it has grown till it now not only numbers its students from the mountains to the sea-shore in this State, but others recognizing its merits have entrusted to its care their sons and daughters. In fact, its rapid growth made necessary larger buildings and ampler grounds. Seeing its needs, its friends rallied to its support, formed a joint stock company, secured a charter from the Legislature, and commenced work in earnest. A large, conveniently arranged building was erected. Ten years ago it was found that we did not have room sufficient to accommodate our fast-growing patronage. The owners of the property added an annex thirty-two feet wide and forty feet long, two stories high. This addition to the first building, which was one hundred and thirty-two feet in length by thirty-two feet in width, two stories high, with verandas aggregating more than three hundred feet in length, gave our students ample room and comfort for those years. Seven years ago at the beginning of the session it was found that our dormitory was taxed to its limit. The trus¬ tees and the friends of the School once more made enlargement possible. A new building was com¬ pleted. This new building, forty-eight by sixty- eight, two stories high, with a large basement, gave us a splendid dormitory for girls, with a large and conveniently arranged auditorium. Notwithstanding the great enlargement, it was soon found that our room was still insufficient; students were turned away for lack of room. This lack was met six years ago by the erection of another dormitory sufficient to accomodate forty more boys. Five years ago other improvements were made, new rooms were 6 Piedmont High School fitted up for the primary department, other recita¬ tion rooms were enlarged and the dining-hall was remodeled. Yet, when the session opened and boys and girls began to arrive we found that we needed more room. The fact that it seems almost impos¬ sible to secure enough room for our students dem¬ onstrates clearly the wisdom of our plans and t he soundness of our policy; not, perhaps, from a financ¬ ial standpoint, but from the standpoint of doing the most good to the most people. A handsome build¬ ing, thirty by fifty, two stories high, was erected during the summer and it was ready for occupancy at the beginning of the session in 1909-1910. The lower story of this building is used as a boys ' dormi¬ tory. The upper story is used by the Musigmarho- nian and the Pierian Literary Societies. On the seventh of March, 1910, the main build¬ ing, containing recitation rooms, dining-room, audi¬ torium, Principal ' s office and residence, girls ' dormi¬ tory, and one dormitory for boys, was destroyed by fire. As only two dormitories for boys and the society halls remained, it was impossible to con¬ tinue our work, so the school was suspended for the remainder of the session. Major Schenck, the President of the Board of Truste es, called a meet¬ ing of the citizens and it was determined to re¬ build. The contract was let and work was begun at once. Sequestered student life gave place to the builder ' s work. Girls, boys, teachers, study and exam¬ inations had given way to the carpenter, the mason and the tinner. Soon the wooded hill was resonant with the craftsman ' s tool. Out of the ashes of the old was born a bigger and a better Piedmont. Out of the fire-fiend ' s ruin, out of cherished, broken plans have come the fruition of broader foundations and the realization of higher ideals. Three handsome structures, more modern in construction than the Lawndale, North Carolina 7 old, more dormitory rooms, more recitation rooms, greater conveniences, water-works, a larger campus, larger play grounds and electric lights are the out¬ come of our terrible disaster. In all there are six buildings on our campus. The main building, Schenck Hall, contains four well lighted and well ventilated recitation rooms, a dining room, thirty-three by seventy, a kitchen with many conveniences, an of¬ fice and rooms for the Principal and his family. The whole of the upper story of this building is used as a dormitory for girls. The next is a stately build¬ ing containing the department of Music, the busi¬ ness school, the primary department and an audi¬ torium fitted with raised seats and modern stage scenery. Its seating capacity is about nine hundred. The Waters’ Library building was completed at the beginning of the last sesssion. This building, by the bequest of Miss Nancy Waters, was erected in memory of her brother, Capt. A. G. Waters, who was a brave Confederate soldier killed in the battle of Gains Mill, near Richmond, Va., June 27, 1862. The legacy was not sufficient for the building desired but the deficit was made up by Major H. F. Schenck and Mr. John F. Schenck. The building, thirty by thirty-six, two stories, built of pressed brick, the smallest but the finest of our buildings, adorns the crest of the hill. It is a fit monument for one who gave life for native land—more appropriate by far than glistering marble or lofty granite. On the evening of February the fifteenth, when the majority of the boys were attending church in Lawndale, fire broke out in Newton Hall, and in spite of the water-works and heroic efforts on the part of those present the building could not be saved as it was too far gone when discovered. There was some insurance and the hall will be exactly duplicated by the opening of the next session. 8 Piedmont High School On May the seventeenth, 1911, the last day of commencement, after an inspiring address by Hon. T. W. Bickett, Major H. F. Schenck, President of the Board of Trustees, presented the needs of the School to the audience, and asked for five thousv and dollars to pay off the existing indebtedness, to paint the buildings and to install water-works. A wave of enthusiasm, such as is seldom seen when the people are asked for money, passed over the audience. Wealthy men, boys and girls working their way through school, women and children, all caught the spirit of the hour. More than six thous¬ and dollars was raised. The thanks of the school are due to the friends of the institution whose loyalty and liberality have made it possible for us to take another step forward in the march of progress. Piedmont is not dead. PIEDMONT IS NO LONG¬ ER IN ITS infancy. PIEDMONT IS NOTAN EXPERI¬ MENT. From small beginnings, through toil and sacrifice, it has ripened in efficiency till it is now generally recognized as one of the strongest prepara¬ tory schools in the State. It has seventeen years of steady growth behind it, a large patronage and many friends in the present, and glorious possibilities for the future. Our water cannot be surpassed. At a distance of about a quarter of a mile from the school build¬ ings is a fine, large spring of pure, sparkling water, affording more than twelve gallons per minute. This water is piped to us by means of an electric pump. A tank of fifteen thousand gallons capacity, stand¬ ing on a steel tower more than fifty feet high, gives us the best means of fighting fire. With this and with electric lights, with no danger of exploding lamps nor deadly fumes of gas in our dormitories, with build ¬ ings of only two stories in front, we feel that ve have less to fear from fire than ever before. David Hall Lawndale, North Carolina 9 At a distance of not more than four hundred yards from the school are springs of health-giving sulphur and chalybeate water. Situated on the top of a majestic hill sloping in every direction, thus giving perfect natural drain¬ age; commanding a magnificent view of hills, vales, grassy, undulating plains, and of the Blue Ridge in the distance; shaded by a forest of stately oaks; enlivened by the music of rippling water; with ex¬ cellent drinking water and air free from the taint of malaria, nature has made this an ideal spot for an educational institution of a high order. But what has man done towards perfecting it? He has given us daily communication with all the world by telephone and telegraph, a railroad within a mile of the school, electric lights, water-works, dormitories adequately furnished, large recitation rooms fitted with patent desks of the most approved pattern, and last, but not least, by his efforts as instruments in God’s hands we are unpolluted by bar-rooms, gambling dens and other moral dangers of town and city life, which too often blight the lives of boys from Chris¬ tian homes and blast the hopes of their dearest friends. We are nearly one-half mile from Lawn¬ dale ; thus we have the advantage of the village with the perfect quiet of rural life so necessary to sus¬ tained mental effort. SUNDAY SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES Two flourishing Sunday Schools are within easy reach of us. The Baptists have regular appoint¬ ments for preaching at New Bethel and Lawndale. The Methodists hold regular services at the latter place. The Presbyterians also hold services at Lawn¬ dale, but at irregular intervals. These churches are only a good walk from the school. All students are re- 10 Piedmont High School quired to attend at least one of these churches. Students are required to attend daily roll-call which consists of singing, reading the Scriptures, and of prayer. At these services occasional short talks will be made by the Principal and others, for the pur¬ pose of encouraging the students and inciting them to higher ideals and nobler efforts. A well organized Young Men’s Christian Asso¬ ciation is well attended. Two prayer meetings are held each week by the students, one by the girls and the other by the boys. These services are volun¬ tary, and while no one is forced to go, they are largely attended and a spirit of devotion is shown that is pleasant to witness. Cant is discouraged; but it has been the constant effort of the manage¬ ment of Piedmont High School to inculcate a spirit of reverence for God and veneration for holy things. The School is distinctly Christian, but it is not de¬ nominational. ENGLISH The object sought in this department is to give the student a thorough acquaintance with the language and with the best models of the literature, that he may know how to understand and use the one and appreciate and interpret the other. The sub¬ ject will be studied in three courses. To enter Course I the student should be acquainted with the ele¬ mentary forms of the language and have such knowl¬ edge of syntax and sentence structure as can be acquired from Hyde’s Book I or its equivalent. All students are required to complete and pass a satisfactory examination on the work of each course or its equivalent before entering upon that of the course next above. Students making a grade of less than 0 on the work of the Fall Term will not be Lawndale, North Carolina 11 continued in the class during the Spring Term, but may take the class next below. Course 1.—Grammar reviewed. Elementary Com¬ position:—Scott and Denney. Classics for study on class or for parallel reading:—Bunyan: Pilgrim ' s Progress; Irving: Sketch Book; Longfellow: Court¬ ship of Miles Standish; Whittier: Snowbound; Cole¬ ridge: Ancient Mariner; Lowell: Vision of Sir Laun- fal; Shakespeare: Merchant of Venice. The emphasis in this class will be given to in¬ flections, sentence structure and analysis. The stu¬ dent will be strictly graded on spelling, capitalizing and the punctuatiomof ordinary English prose. Course 2.—Brooks and Hubbard’s Composition- Rhetoric. The following classics will be read: The Old Testament (See Bible Course 1). Shakespeare: Julius Caesar; Tennyson: Gareth and Lynette, Laun- celot and Elaine, The Passing of Arthur: Dickens: Tale of Two Cities; Eliot: Silas Marner or Gaskell: Cranford. In this class the emphasis is given largely to theme work. Course 3.—Brooks and Hubbard’s Composition- Rhetoric Part II, Lockwood’s Lessons in English. Classics to be studied with care:—Shakespeare: Macbeth; Burke: Speech on Conciliation with Amer¬ ica; Pope: Translation of the Iliad; Milton: L’Alle- gro, II Penseroso, Comus; Macaulay: Life of Johnson. Special attention will be given to the sources and development of the language and literary forms as illustrated by usage of the best writers of the past and present. Students will be prepared to comply with the entrance requirements of the Southern Association of Colleges. 12 Piedmont High School LATIN The first year in this course will consist of a thorough preparation of the lessons in Collar and Daniel’s Beginner’s Latin Book and a special drill on the paradigms and vocabulary. When a good work¬ ing knowledge of the elementary principles of the language has been secured the class will read the second and third books of Caesar. The second year’s work in this department will consist of a careful reading of Caesar, Books I and IV, and a review of Books II and III, with drill work in grammar. The third year’s work will consist of a study of six of Cicero’s Orations, six books of Virgil’s Ailneid, a review of prose composition, varied with original exercises. While the primary object of this department is th e thorough preparation of pupils for entrance to the classical colleges, much stress will be laid on the relation of the Latin language to our mother tongue. MATHEMATICS The work in the college preparatory course for the first year will consist of a careful study of Arith¬ metic with the view of making the students pro¬ ficient in business calculations and in preparing them to be successful teachers of arithmetic in our public schools. The elements of Algebra will be studied. In the second year Wentworth’s New School Algebra will be completed and Wentworth’s Com¬ plete Algebra will be begun. In the third year Wentworth’s Complete Alge¬ bra will be mastered and Wentworth’s College Alge¬ bra and Wentworth’s Geometry will be begun. ' 0M M ■ Scenery Around Piedmont High School - Lawndale, North Carolina 13 In the fourth year Wentworth ' s Plane and Solid Geometry will be completed. The object of this course is not only to prepare for college but to strengthen and develop the reason¬ ing power of those who may never have the privi¬ lege of a college education. HISTORY This course is broad and comprehensive. It is intended to be much fuller than merely to prepare for college. In the first year Ancient History will be studied and Mediaeval and Modern History will be begun. In the second year Mediaeval and Modern His¬ tory will be completed and English History will be begun. In the third year English History will be com¬ pleted and the History of the United States will be carefully studied. In the fourth year the History of North Caro¬ lina will be studied with care. BIBLE Systematic Bible study has been carried on at Piedmont for several years. The purpose of this study is to give to the student a first-hand knowl¬ edge of the things recorded in the Scriptures. The method used is an actual study of the Book itself; not facts about the Bible but facts from the Bible; not a system of interpretation but a regular, definite study of subject-matter. The regular classes meet daily throughout the entire session. The work in Course 1, Old Testament, is required of all grad¬ uates, and during the years 1912-1915 will form a part of the regular college entrance requirements 14 Piedmont High School in English Literature. Course 1.—The historical parts of the Old Tes¬ tament are studied in chronological order with in¬ cidental references to the Psalms and the Prophets. Course 2.—A systematic study of the historical parts of the New Testament with incidental refer¬ ences to the Epistles is offered to such as desire to do special work in the Bible, and may be used as a substitute for Political Economy or German in the regular course of study as outlined in this catalogue. Course 3.—Sunday School Pedagogy. This is a special course and is open to all students who desire to take the work. A beautiful diploma is awarded to those who complete the first book of the course; and seals, to be attached to the diploma, are given on the completion of each additional book of the course. The following students received diplomas in this department in the past session: Miss Florence Ethel Beam, Miss Essie Bingham, Miss May Clip- pard, Miss Pearl Cornwell, Miss Ethel Davis, Miss Ila Dixon, Mrs. Mamie Elam, Miss Florence Belle Elliott, Miss Ollie Harrill, Miss May Lovelace, Miss Lida Poston, Miss Anna Strider, Robert C. Black, Clarence Grady Ferguson, Floyd M. Ferguson, Carme Elam, L. H. Ledford, Martin M. Luther, J. S. Mel¬ vin, C. B. Morgan, Roy W. Plunkett, B. D. Ratterree and L. R. Tate. MUSIC The Music Department will be in charge of one who is thoroughly proficient in this branch, and no pains will be spared to make this part of the work equal to any other department of the School. This course is broad and thorough. The School Lawndale, North Carolina 15 recognizes the need of the best instruction for be¬ ginners, as well as for the more advanced pupils, thus insuring a good foundation. Public recitals are given during the term. In these, all the students of music take part. They are thus stimulated to greater elfort and become accustomed to appearing in public. It has not been deemed advisable to adopt any set of studies to be used arbitrarily, but rather to select a course to suit the needs of the in¬ dividual pupil. However, a general outline of the plan of study may be given. PRIMARY Includes a thorough foundation in Technic. In this is taken up the keyboard, staff, rhythm, for¬ mation of scales and simple studies and pieces. INTERMEDIATE Continues the study of Technic, Studies and Sonatinas selected from Czerny, Duvernoy, Loesch- orn, Bertini and others, as well as easy pieces by classical and modern composers. ADVANCED Includes the study of Technic in all the forms; Inventions of Bach; Etudes and Studies by Czerny, Heller, Berens, Cramer and others; easy Sonatas and Pieces by standard composers. SCIENCE The work done in science in the preparatory schools of the South is ordinarily more or less un¬ satisfactory for several reasons:—students usually try to complete their preparatory courses in the 16 Piedmont High School shortest possible time and the required work in the languages and mathematics crowd out other sub¬ jects; at the same time few, if any schools, pos¬ sess the equipment requisite for obtaining good re¬ sults in scientific studies. It is our purpose to make the most of our opportunities and to enlarge our facilities for better work from time to time. The following courses are offered: 1. Agriculture:—Burkett, Stevens and Hill or its equivalent. Actual field observation and experi¬ ment as opportunity affords. 2. Physical Geography:—Maury or Tarr and McMurray. 3. Human Physiology and Hygiene:—Lippin- cott’s Physiology or Martin’s Human Body, Brief Course. 4. Physics with short study of Chemistry:—- Higgins. The text in each subject will be supplemented by the teacher in original illustrations and the use of such apparatus as may be at hand or devised for the purpose. It is expected at an early day to have a set of apparatus for simple experiments in Physics and Chemistry. BUSINESS DEPARTMENT This, the youngest department of the school, was established four years ago. Its progress has been steady, each year showing a satisfactory in¬ crease in attendance over the preceding year. Here¬ tofore, with the exception of Penmanship last ses¬ sion, all subjects have been taught by the principal. Next year the department will be divided. The prin¬ cipal will teach only Shorthand and Typewriting and allied subjects while the assistant will be in charge of the Bookkeeping and Penmanship work. Lawndale, North Carolina 17 Under this arrangement, we are confident better results can be obtained. There is no reason why a young man or young woman should attend a business college in a large city, where board and tuition are high, to receive a commercial education, when a course of equal value can be obtained in the high school, with the added advantage of the literary course for those who are deficient in this branch. Compare our rates of board and tuition with those of the leading business colleges and you will find ours to be just about half the amount they charge. All students of the Business Department have access to the school library and are required to join one of the literary societies. In the Bookkeeping Department we teach the Budget System of Bookkeeping. This system is taught in some of the leading business colleges of the South. The course consists of instruction in Bookkeeping and Office Practice, Commercial Arith¬ metic, Commercial Law, Business Correspondence and Punctuation, Spelling and Penmanship. We use Gregg Shorthand and Rational Type¬ writing in the Shorthand and Typewriting Depart¬ ment. The course consists of instruction in Short¬ hand, Typewriting, Business Correspondence and Punctuation, Spelling and Penmanship. Gregg Shorthand is by far the easiest to learn, easiest to write and easiest to read of any system of shorthand now in use. In the Fifth International Shorthand Speed Contest, held in Washington, March 28, 1910, writers of Gregg Shorthand won first, second and third places. Mr. Fred H. Gurtler, win¬ ner of the first place, exceeded the best previous record by 23 words per minute. Mr. Gurtler has since been elected president of the Chicago Law Re¬ porters Association. The winner of second place, 18 Piedmont High School Mr. Charles L. Swem, a boy of seventeen, establish¬ ed a world’s record for one of his age and experience. He now holds the world’s record for accuracy and third place for speed. Recognizing his ability as a reporter, Governor Wilson secured his services on his presidential campaign and since his inaugura¬ tion has appointed him as his chief stenographer. The winner of third place, Miss Salome L. Tarr, a girl of seventeen, established a world’s record for accuracy, her notes being 99.4 per cent, perfect. Miss Tarr, too, has added new laurels to her wreath of fame. Miss Paula E. Werning, an enthusiastic Gregg writer, has the unique distinction of being the first to receive the degree of Certified Shorthand Reporter given by the University of the State of New York. These are only a few of the thousands of success¬ ful writers of Gregg Shorthand. A beautiful diploma will be given to all who pass the required examinations of either course. For this diploma a charge of $2.00 will be made. The principal will give a handsome gold medal to the one making the most improvement in penmanship dur¬ ing the session. The cost of books, stationery, etc. for the Book¬ keeping course is $9.00; for the Shorthand and Type¬ writing course, $5.00. Payment in advance is re¬ quired for books upon entrance to either department. Rates of tuition are as follows: bookkeeping Department. $6.00 per month Shorthand and Typewriting Dep’t. 6.00 per month typewriting . 2.00 per month i enmanship . 1.00 p er mon th I enmanship . 7.00 p er sess j on Lawndale, North Carolina 19 COURSE PREPARATORY FOR COLLEGE FIRST YEAR Periods per week Ancient History.

TEXT-BOOKS We prefer that the students buy their books after entering, as there will probably be some changes made in the text-books. The books used last year were as follows: Latin—Collar and Daniel’s Beginner’s Latin Book, also Gunnison and Harley’s First Year of Latin, Allen and Greenough’s Virgil, Allen’s Prose, Lowe and Ewing’s Caesar. Algebra—Sanford’s Elementary, Wentworth’s New School, Wentworth’s Complete and Went¬ worth’s College. German—Keller’s First Year. Geometry—Wentworth’s Plane, Solid and Spher¬ ical. Physiology—Lippincott’s. English Grammar—Hyde’s, Beuhler’s. Composition—Rhetoric—Lockwood’s Lessons, Brooks and Hubbard’s Composition and Rhetoric, Scott and Denney’s Elementary Composition. History—Hansell’s United States, Hill’s North Carolina, and Myer’s Modern and Mediaeval, Mont¬ gomery’s English, Myer’s Ancient. Spelling—Reed’s, Harrington’s and Westlake’s, New Practical, Sorelle and Kitt’s Words. Readers—Holmes’ Series. Arithmetic—Milne’s Series. Geography—Maury’s Elementary and Maury’s Manual. TEACHERS Our teachers are all thoroughly competent, and A Reading Circge Lawndale, North Carolina 21 all of them have had experience in the school room. Our idea of building and sustaining a first-class school is that a few teachers well qualified for their work can accomplish more than a large number of cheap, inexperienced ones. BOARD We feel sure that our boarding arrangement cannot be improved. We have all the benefits of the club plan, together with home comforts. JV ' o profit is made on board. Each student bears his propor¬ tional part of the expense, and saves whatever profit is usually made on board, thus materially lessening expense. Our method, too, prevents class distinc¬ tion, which is sometimes made in schools where some students board in boardingdiouses and others at the mess-hall. Here no such rivalry can exist, for all students and teachers board on the same plan, and all eat in the same dining-hall. The only aristo¬ cracy which counts here is the aristocracy of brains, good conduct in school, and Christian living. During the last session board averaged for the full month, $6.54. Those who went home on Fri¬ day evening and returned Monday morning paid on an average $4.04 per month. Terms for tuition are cash at the end of the month, except by special agreement. Payment for board is expected to be made promptly. JVo profit is made on board, and no cal¬ culation is made for loss or delay in payments. Each boarder must deposit $7.00 on entrance. At the end of each school month he is required to pay his proportional part of board, and the seven dol¬ lars deposited at the beginning of the term is used in payment of his board for the last month, and any part remaining is refunded to the pupil. This is done simply to guard against loss to the boarding 22 Piedmont High School pupils. Board will be charged for no less time than for one month. In other words, if a pupil leaves school before the expiration of the first month no part of the advance board or of the contingency fee will be refunded. This is done in justice to the school, from the fact that there are boys and girls who enroll and stay only a few days, or a week, and leave because of a lack of purpose, thus keeping away others who would stay throughout the session. Those wishing to pay board and tuition for the term in advance may do so, and they will receive interest on the amount deposited. A contingency fee of $1. is required to be deposited by each boarding student on matriculation. If no damage is done to the school property, and if the student remains in school not less than three months, this fee will be returned at the close of the session. If damage is done to school property, each must pay for the dam¬ age he does. If the perpetrator of the injury is not discovered the damage is to be repaired out of the general contingency fund, and each pupil will have his proportional part of his contingency fee returned. No deduction in payment of tuition is made ex¬ cept in cases of protracted sickness, and then only when a certificate of a physician is presented. All students are earnestly urged to begin on the first day of the session. Otherwise, they work at a disadvantage. Permission to visit will not be given to the girls. Parents are asked not to make request that their daughters be granted special privileges, for it will not be granted. All damages to school property must be paid for by the one doing the damage. No student will be allowed to carry a pistol, or to indulge in profanity, gambling, or the use of in¬ toxicants. Lawndale, North Carolina 23 Pupils who persistently break the rules will be expelled. Ministers of the gospel and those preparing themselves for the ministry are charged only half rates on tuition. To secure this reduction such stu¬ dents as are not personally known to the Principal must be recommended by their pastors. The mail of all the boarding girls will pass through the hands of the Principal. This rule will be suspended only on the written request of the parents or guardians. LITERARY SOCIETIES, MEDALS AND SCHOLARSHIPS The Musigmarhonian and the Pierian Literary Societies for young men meet once each week for debate, declamation and the transaction of general business. In these exercises all members are re¬ quired to participate and all students who board at the hall are required to become members of one or the other of these societies. It would be hard to estimate the importance of this work in imparting a knowledge of parliamentary law, stimulating historical research and cultivating general reading. In fact, some of the larger colleges are already con¬ sidering the advisability of making literary society work count toward the winning of a degree. Why not? These societies are always attended by the Principal and by other teachers who act as critics. Each society offers a gold medal to that mem¬ ber mak ing the greatest improvement in oratory and debate during the year. The Pierian improve¬ ment medal was awarded to Mr. Anderson V. Nolan of Cleveland county, the Musigmarhonian to Mr. Robert Clinton Kiser of Stokes county. A gold medal, given by the principal, was 24 Piedmont High School awarded to Mr. Peyton E. MeSwain of Cleveland county for oratory and debate in the annual debate between the Pierian and the Musigmarhonian Lit¬ erary Societies. The Emersonian Literary Society for young ladies meets once each week for the reading of vari¬ ous selections, the study of the lives of authors, for recitation and for the reading of original essays. These meetings are always attended by one or more teachers who by friendly criticism and advice en¬ courage the students to greater zeal in the work. The Schenck Scholarship Medal is awarded to the student of the College Preparatory Course who makes the best general average. This medal, given by Maj. H. F. Schenck, was awarded to Mr. Griffin Pixley Smith of Cleveland county. The Burns Recitation Medal, given for the best rendered recitation at commencement, was awarded to Miss Ila Dixon of Cleveland county. The Carme Elam Medal, given by Mr. Carme Elam to the best declaimer among the boys, was awarded to Mr. W. Coran Stockton of Rutherford county. A gold medal given by Prof. Lawton Blanton for memory gems was awarded to Mr. Claudius Mintz of Brunswick county. To contest for the Declamation Medal or the Recitation Medal one must be a student of Pied¬ mont High School for a period of not less than six months preceding the contest, and must not have won the Declamation or Recitation Medal at Pied¬ mont the year previous. To contest for any of the other medals one must be a student of Piedmont High School for a period of not less than eight months. Is o medal w ill be awarded one who carries few- c 1 than sixteen recitations per week and whose gen- I I5RAKV AND RlCADINC; ROOM Lawndale, North Carolina 25 eral average, including deportment, is less than seventy-five. The last and by far the largest awards for merit that come under this head are the scholarships placed in our hands by Wake Forest College, Trinity College and the University of North Carolina. The conditions of awarding the latter two have not been given us. The Wake Forest Scholarship, which in money value is worth $150.00, pays the tuition of a student (prepared at Piedmont High School) at Wake Forest College for three years. Appointment to this scholarship is subject to the following con¬ ditions: The appointee must be prepared for the college classes, of good moral character, and must have made the highest grade on competitive ex¬ amination conducted under the direction of the Principal of Piedmont High School. The appoint¬ ment is for one year only, but the scholar is eligible to re-appointment provided (1) his deportment is blameless and (2) he has made a passing grade on each study the previous year, making, in case of re¬ appointment for a second year, a minimum average of eighty-five on all studies taken the first year, and for a third year a minimum average of ninety on the second year’s work. The scholarship Is not available to the same student beyond three years. In case the scholar fails of re-appointment for a subsequent year, Piedmont High School may make a new appointment on the conditions given above. The placing of these scholarships in our hands is, perhaps, the highest endorsement that the trus¬ tees of these institutions could bestow upon us. THE PIEDMONT PUPIL For some time it has been felt that a magazine published under the auspices of the school would be 26 Piedmont High School helpful in many ways. During the Fall term of 1912- 1913 this enterprise took definite shape in the form of the Piedmont Pupil. The undertaking proved successful, and under the management of an editorial staff selected by the literary societies, a magazine of some literary merit has been issued. It compares favorably with older publications of other schools that make broader claims to excellency than does Piedmont. As this was the first year of the maga¬ zine and several unlooked-for hindrances arose only three numbers were issued. It is the purpose of the societies to continue the publication with quarterly issues and to spare no effort to make it better from year to year. The subscription price is fifty cents per annum. PURPOSES The purpose of this school is to prepare boys and girls thoroughly for college and to fit them for the practical duties of life. It is as much our purpose to develop nobility of character and a high sense of honor, as to impart knowledge of text-books, and no effort is spared to teach a proper appreciation of each one ' s rights and duties as members of society, and to educate the heart as well as the brain in those Christian graces that constitute true nobility of character. THOROUGHNESS It has always been the aim of the school to do honest, thorough work. The present Faculty es¬ pecially endorse thoroughness, and it will be their constant care to see that the student masters the subject studied before they permit it to be laid aside. Yet, we do not believe that an education consists of Lawndale, North Carolina 27 simply an accumulation of facts and figures, but it means the harmonious development of the powers given us by the Creator. REGULATIONS The regulations are few and simple. Students are encouraged to control themselves and to regard the rights of others. They are, however, expected to render prompt and cheerful obedience to teach¬ ers at all times. Those who are not willing to com¬ ply with our discipline are not solicited to matricu¬ late. REPORTS At the end of the first and third quarters, re¬ ports of the general progress in studies and upon deportment will be sent to parents. The quarterly reports are not intended to indicate the precise grade of scholarship. At the end of each term par¬ ents will be sent a report showing the precise grade of scholarship, deportment, absence from recita¬ tions and religious exercises during the term. The reports are a means of communication between par¬ ents and teachers, and may be of great service in stimulating the pupils. LIBRARY In 1902 about two hundred books were secured as a nucleus of a library. These books were well selected and many of them were handsomely bound. In 1903 about a hundred volumes were added. From time to time others have come to us by gift or by purchase. This collection was destroyed on the seventh of March, but fortunately there was on hand a small fund unexpended. This gave us a new be¬ ginning. 28 Piedmont High School The erection of the handsome Waters ' Mem¬ orial Library building inspired our friends with zeal for filling it with books. To this library, founded in honor of a gallant Confederate soldier, came one of the first and decidedly the largest and finest collec¬ tion of books from a Northern Veteran, Mr. James E. Reynolds of New York. A number of students formed a library association and each paid in fifty cents as a membership fee. Some plays and lec¬ tures were given for its benefit. Altogether we have about three hundred volumes. In many homes there are books no longer valued that would be of great use to us. Such books will be gladly received by our librarian and gratefully acknowledged. Thanks are due to the following for books and papers donated last session: Messrs. W. J. Bryan, C. L .Green, S. C. Ratteree, T, A. Wagstaff, W. D. Burns and Mrs. M. F. Shu- ford, and Martin Luther. READING ROOM The following is a list of newspapers and period¬ icals that came to our reading room last year: Review of Reviews, Cosmopolitan, Atlantic Monthly, World’s Work, Saturday Evening Post, Ladies ' Home Journal, Woman ' s Home Companion, Raleigh News and Observer, The Pathfinder, The Literary Digest, The Independent, The Gaffney Led¬ ger, Charlotte Daily Observer, The Highlander, The Cleveland Star, The Times-Dispatch, Greensboro Daily News, The Progressive Farmer, Farmer and Mechanic, Biblical Recorder, McClure ' s Magazine, Ihe Reformed Church Standard, The Presbyterian Standard, The Union Home, The Caucasian, North Carolina Education, Marshville Home, Newton En¬ terprise, Charity and Children, Rural Weekly, St. Louis Star, The Far Heel, The New York Times, Graduating Class, 1912-1913 Lawndale, North Carolina 29 Chicago Daily News, Onslow Progress. PHYSICAL EXERCISE Ample grounds supply every demand for outdoor exercises and games. Tennis, basket-ball, baseball and football are favorite recreations of our pupils. EXPENSES Board is furnished on the club plan, thus se¬ curing the best board at the least possible cost. The students take their meals at the same table with the Principal and the teachers. The Principal and other teachers give necessary help in the prepara¬ tion of lessons. Girls are constantly under the care of the teachers or of the Matron. INFORMATION Students will be admitted at any time, but it is far better to enter at beginning of term. The teachers are all able and experienced. The course is broad and comprehensive, and prepares for entrance to any of the colleges. STUDENTS WHOSE INFLUENCE SHALL PROVE INJURIOUS TO THE SCHOOL WILL BE PROMPTLY EXPELLED. Strict obedience to all rules and requirements is demanded. Dormitory rooms are furnished with bedstead, springs, mattress, table and chairs. Students should bring sheets, blankets, pillow cases, towels and nap¬ kins. All of these should be plainly marked. It is well for all pupils to have overshoes. In the case of girls we insist that they bring overshoes. They often save many times their cost by preventing sickness. The Principal and the teachers of the school cannot lend money to pupils. If parents desire it the Principal will take charge of money that is to be 30 Piedmont High School paid out for the incidental expenses of children and will render statement at the close of the term. Education is the best investment parents and guardians can make for children. In many instances it pays more than a thousand per cent., but par¬ ents, as well as pupils, should understand that se¬ curing an education is a business, just as is farming, manufacturing or mercantile pursuits. The farmer must work with system and regularity, the manu¬ facturer cannot shut down his plant to gratify a whim and the merchant who closes his doors to go fishing in this day of sharp competition will soon be a bankrupt. The same thing is true of the pupil seeking an education. He cannot be in and out with¬ out injury to his scholarship and to the school with which he is connected. Parents are self-sacrificing but often they do not realize how important a few days may be in school work. Parents will please not ask us to allow pupils to lose time from their work unless there are reasons of the utmost im¬ portance for doing so. CHARGES Board at actual cost. Average of board last year, $6.54 per month. Tuition in Literary Department, $1.00—$3.00 per month. Tuition in Music Department, $2.50 per month. Piano rent, 50 cents per month. Tuition in Elocution, $2.00 per month. tuition in Elocution in classes, 75 cents per month. Room rent, 40 cents per month. Those who take any branch in the College Pre- paratory Course will be charged $3.00 per month. Fuel for boys’ and girls’ dormitories, 50 cents Lawndale, North Carolina 31 per month, or $3.50 for the whole session. Library fee, payable in advance, 75 cents per year. DEPOSITS When convenient, students should deposit money w T ith the Principal on entering, to be applied to board, tuition, room rent, etc. A certificate of deposit will be given for all money thus deposited. W. D. BURNS, Lawndale, N. C. 32 Piedmont High School TESTIMONIALS What our neighbors and patrons say of the School. Space forbids the use of more than a few testi¬ monials : Piedmont High School is one of the finest academies I know anything about, and I have come in contact with many of the finest schools in the North and West and was grad¬ uated from one of Ohio’s best institutions—the Western Re¬ serve Academy at Hudson. Piedmont has a spirit and an atmosphere that one usually finds only at much older and more famous places—such as Phillips-Exeter in New Hamp¬ shire, Andover in Massachusetts and Western Reserve in Ohio. Piedmont will some day be as famous in the South¬ east as those schools are in their respective sections.-- Broadus H. DePriest, Editor and Founder of “The High¬ lander,” Shelby, N. C. The School is one of the best Preparatory Schools in the State. The new building was occupied a few months ago and the facilities for entertaining and accomodating Commence¬ ment crowds are unsurpassed. Prof. W. D. Burns and his able assistants are doing a great work in Cleveland county.— The Cleveland Star. As a Preparatory School, no better can be found in the State. Here are found all the facilities for a beneficial school life.—A Presbyterian lady, a correspondent of the Star. Speaking of the Commencement of 1901-1902, Editor J. O. Foy, of the The Aurora, said: It gives us pleasure to speak of the merits of this splendid School. It has one of the prettiest locations we remember ever seeing. The school house is built upon a high hill, al¬ most a mountain, with an incline from every point of the compass. Within two hundred yards of the school building on the northwest side, a descent of over two hundred feet is attained, and while the south and east incline is not quite so abrupt, it would be termed a pretty steep climb, so in a matter of drainage it is ideal; all around the building is a dense grove of large oaks. The water is obtained at a depth of eighty feet; the greater portion of the well is cut through solid rock. A short distance from the school, a pleas¬ ant walk, is a sulphur spring, visited during the school, by a laige number of people from a distance, and it is said re- Section of Dining-Hace Lawndale, North Carolina markable cures have been effected by the water. An air-line from the school to Lawndale is little over half a mile, the narrow-gauge road running to Lawndale from Shelby. the school is in splendid hands. Professor Burns is an able educator, an excellent Christian gentleman. The proof of his work is apparent to all observers. Piedmont High School should prosper—it deserves to prosper. Prof. W. D. Burns is running a magnificent school there. The house crowns a wooded hill which was beginning to be aflame with flowers. No more beautiful location can be found in North Carolina than this. The sweep of vision on every side is most commanding. The house itself is a noble structure —a monument to the liberality of its builders. A strong force of educators surround Mr. Burns, who is a man of fine ability and modest as a girl. Some forty boarders from vari¬ ous counties attended last session, besides an excellent local patronage. We were thrilled to hear a number of strong young men in original addresses. That shows what the school is doing. A few years hence its blessed work will be revealed. These boys would probably have slept their lives away but for the vision that burst upon them under the inspiring in¬ fluence of those modest but worthy and intelligent teachers. Wake Forest College and the University of North Carolina have good reason to know what the Piedmont High School is worth to the world. The world will know it after a while. The girls, too, a bright bevy of them, will live larger and happier lives because they have been surrounded by this glorious influence. Many of them will go to college and all of them will mean more to the world, tenfold more, than if they had never tasted of this fountain of knowledge. We are deeply indebted to many friends for the rare pleasure this brief trip affords us, and shall rejoice when the opportunity to return shall come.—Charity and Children, in 1904. Prof. W. D. Burns, the Principal, is one of the foremost school men in North Carolina, and the people of Lawndale are holding up his hands like good men and true.—Charity and Children in issue of April 25, 1907 . 34 Piedmont High School Speaking of the Commencement exercises of 1905- 1906, Hon. Clyde R. Hoey, former editor of the Cleve¬ land Star, said: The Commencement exercises of Piedmont High School closed Friday night, and the many congratulations, the good¬ byes and the farewells of students, teachers and patrons, so often experienced before, and yet so thrilling and real on every succeeding occasion, were said with the deepest feeling. Piedmont High School is an educational institution set upon a hill—with graceful slopes and sweeping distances—and it sends out a strong, steady flow of intellectual light into all that country and the glitter and glow extends to Eastern Carolina, from whence come many of her brightest young sons. Indelibly associated with Piedmont is the name and fame of Prof. W. D. Burns, the energetic and scholarly head of the school, whose ability as a teacher, whose love of the work, whose interest in the young life of the land, fires his soul with a consuming passion for service in intellectual fields and at once marks him as a true educator, who ade¬ quately, accurately interprets the needs of the rising genera¬ tion in an educational way. The past session has been from every standpoint the most successful in the history of this well-known educational in¬ stitution. The attendance has been large; the number of boarding students has been greater; the influence of the School has been wider, and the results of the school work have been more satisfactory. The Commencement exercises kept pace with the general improvement in the school, and the consensus of opinion was that this Commencement was the best. Progress is the watchword at Piedmont, and with this aim in view a new addition to the already handsome school build¬ ing will be constructed during vacation time, and the re¬ opening for the fall term will find the school better equipped than ever before. Tt gives me a great deal of pleasure to say a word in be¬ half of the Piedmont High School, at Cleveland Mills, under the efficient management of Prof. W. I). Burns. The instruc¬ tion is thorough and the influences surrounding the pupil excellent. The location of the school is fine, because of eleva- Lawndale, North Carolina tion and water, and the community is one of the most re¬ fined m Western North Carolina. R. P. TREDWAY, Former pastor Shelby Baptist Church MEREDITH COLLEGE, RALEIGH, N. C. OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT „ , June 13, 1912. From my knowledge of those who are in charge of the Piedmont High School and from my experience with students who have attended Meredith College from that institution, 1 am satisfied that Piedmont is doing a work of unusual excellence, and I feel a personal gratification in knowing that we have such an institution as a part of our educa¬ tional system in North Carolina. R. T. VANN, President PRESIDENT’S OFFICE, UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, CHAPEL HILL, May 9, 1905. Mr. W. D. Burns, President Piedmont High School, Lawndale, N. C. Dear Sir:—The young men who have come to the Univer¬ sity from the Piedmont High School have taken a good stand in their classes and have done faithful and satisfactory work. Very truly yours, FRANCES P. VENABLE, President Being one who has watched the progress of Piedmont High School from its beginning, and being one who is alive to the importance of a good school in our midst, I am heartily glad to testify that the work is bearing good fruit. Faithful work has not only been done in text-books, but work equally as good has been done in training the morals and developing the character of the students. The idea that morality and the de¬ velopment of Christian character is required to make true men and women has been carefully fostered by our teachers, who have proven themselves to be conscientious Christian workers. I can truly recommend Professor Burns and his faithful co-workers as instructors to whom you can safely trust your children. T. J. RAMSAUR, Treasurer of Cleveland Cotton Mills 36 Piedmont High School Writing regarding a Commencement at Piedmont, Editor Hudson said: Piedmont High School is ideally located—proudly she rests upon the summit of a commanding height, almost a moun¬ tain, overlooking the river, which like a thread of silver, winds its way in graceful curves around the base. Surrounded by a natural grove of symmetrical beauty it stands as a monu¬ ment to the wisdom and public-spirited enterprise of its promoters, those loyal, generous people who believe in in¬ vesting their means in brains, morality, culture and learning. Prof. Burns is a “live wire” in educational matters—pro¬ gressive, enthusiastic and thoroughly capable, he has sur¬ rounded himself with an able and thoroughly equipped corps of assistants, and the patrons of the School have shown their appreciation by giving this splendid institution their most hearty and loyal support. Its success is assured and the en¬ rollment hereafter will be limited only by the space accom¬ modations of its buildings and dormitories. I have had the pleasure of examining, at close range, the work done by the faculty of Piedmont High School. From my extensive contact with the schools throughout the United States, my friends feel that I possess some qualifications for detecting honest, high-grade work. I have no hesitation in saying Piedmont High School does just this kind of work. WM. £DWIN HALL, 232 W. 14th St., New York City. It is my privilege and pleasure to know something of the standing and work of the Piedmont High School, and also to have a personal acquaintance with its efficient corps of teachers, headed by the able and genteel Professor W. D. Burns. In my opinion there is no High School in this part of the country doing better and more thorough educational work. The generous Trustees have arranged it so that board and lodging can be secured cheaper than at any High School within my knowledge. The building is large and commodious, standing on the summit of a beautiful hill, surrounded by a forest of stately oaks. The pleasant location and high grade work and the low price of board and lodging should commend the school most favorably to any man or woman seeking a good education. Shelby, N. C. E. Y. WEBB, Member of Congress Auditorium and Music-Hall Waters Library Building Schenck Hall Lawndale, North Carolina 37 WAKE FOREST COLLEGE, THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT, WAKE FOREST, N. C., July 8, 1907 To Any One Concerned: I have known and admired Mr. W. D. Burns for a number of years, and take pleasure in recommending him as worthy of the grave trust and responsibility of teaching our young people. A recent visit to the Piedmont High School, over which he presides, greatly pleased me. The trustees of Wake Forest College, at their late session, gave it the high en¬ dorsement of placing a scholarship there. WILLIAM LOUIS POTEAT, President. Prof. W. D. Burns, Lawndale, N. C. The phenomenal growth and success of the Piedmont High School has gratified, but has not surprised me. The faithful and effective work of the Principal, Mr. Burns, during his student life at Wake Forest has prepared me to expect to hear good news as to his after career. And the good prepara- � tion and excellent deportment of the young men who have come to us from the academy are excellent evidence as to the scholarship and character of the assistant teachers, as well as the Principal. Most heartily do I recommend the School to all who have sons and daughters to educate. CHAS. E. TAYLOR Ex-President of Wake Forest College B. T. FALLS, M. A., COUNTY SUPT. OF SCHOOLS Shelby, N. C., May, 1906 I take pleasure in bearing testimony regarding the Pied¬ mont High School. I have spent some time in this school and found the work of the class-rooms to be thorough, prac¬ tical and far-reaching in its scope. The teachers are devoted to their work, are thoroughly competent, and they spare no effort in making the class-room a place of interest to the pupil. The school also has an excellent literary society. One of the strongest High School debates I ever listened to was the one given by the members of this society. In my opinion the school deserves a place among the best schools in this part of the State, and I readily commend it to all the people. Respectfully, B. T. FALLS Piedmont High School SHELBY, N. C., June 4, 1900. To Whom it May Concern: This testifies as to the character, ability and scholarship of Prof. W. D. Burns, who is now the Principal of the Pied¬ mont High School, Cleveland Mills, N. C. Professor Burns, by his conduct and rare gifts as a teacher, has won the con¬ fidence and esteem of the people, his patrons and students. I commend Professor Burns and the Piedmont High School warmly to those who desire their sons and daughters to be taught the true idea of education, and to be led up into a higher life of use ful manhood and womanhood. Respectfully, J. A. ANTHONY, County Supt. of Schools I was very favorably impressed with the retired location of Piedmont High School the first time I visited it. But since serving as pastor for two years two churches within sight of this admirable school, I have been favorably impressed with a great many things. It is with no reluctance that I say nature has done all that is necessary to make it a health¬ ful and delightful location. The boarding system is unique. The tender watch-care over the pupils and the moral in¬ fluence of the school are such as should merit the confidence of any parents and make them feel perfectly safe in com¬ mitting their children to the care of this worthy Principal and his co-workers. C. W. PAYSEUR Pastor of Lawndale and New Bethel Churches OFFICE OF DUFFEY KOONCE, ATTORNEYS AT LAW JACKSONVILLE, N. C., May 3, 1905 Prof. W. D. Burns, Lawndale, N. C. Dear Sir:—Enclosed please find check for $11.34, as per your statement recently received. We are well pleased with the progress made by the boys, and if nothing happens they will return next session. It is the best and cheapest school in the State. Hoping to see you down here during the summer, I beg to remain, Yours truly, E. M. KOONCE, Member of the Legislature of North Carolina Lawndale, North Carolina 39 Dear Sir:—Being deeply interested in the education of the young people of this community, and the building up of the Piedmont High School particularly, I want to congratu¬ late you on the success of the term just closed. The larger portion of the term was spent in the old building, where you were cramped for room and labored under many disadvant¬ ages. It is gratifying to me that under the disadvantages you had to encounter during the former part of the session that the school made such marked progress as it has during the term. I must also congratulate you upon your efforts in uniting all who patronize this school in the determination to see that the facilities of the school are such as will give greater ad¬ vantages as they are demanded. I feel that this community is indebted to you for developing this spirit of educational progress among us, and from all that I can gather the next session, will open with far greater patronage than we have ever known before. Yours truly, H. F. SCHENCK, Pres, of Cleveland Cotton Mills and of Lawndale R, R. WAKE FOREST, N. C., June 15, 1900. During his student career I formed a very high opinion of the capacity, character and faithfulness of Mr. W. D. Burns. This opinion was confirmed by a recent visit to the Piedmont High School of which he is Principal. With the aid of his faithful and competent assistants, he is doing excellent work in that institution. On all sides I saw evidences of patient, painstaking labor, thorough scholarship and marked executive ability. I believe the School to be a good one and worthy of a liberal patronage. Respectfully, J. B. CARLYLE, Professor of Latin, Wake Forest College BAPTIST CHURCH KINGS MOUNTAIN AND BESSEMER CITY J. J. BEACH, Pastor June 12, 1909 I spent several days last year in the Piedmont High School giving religious instruction, and was very favorably im¬ pressed with the high grade of work done by Prof. W. D. Burns and his excellent faculty, and with the splendid high- toned boys and girls who composed the student body. I was especially delighted with the moral and religious I 40 Piedmont High School aspect of the school, and take a pleasure in saying to par¬ ents with boys and girls to send to school that at Piedmont they will be well cared for both mentally and morally. J. J. BEACH I have some personal knowledge of Piedmont High School and its work, and consider it the best preparatory school, for the money expended, in my knowledge. It is a marvel to me how such excellent work can be done so cheaply. The best families in Shelby patronize Piedmont High School and are well pleased with its work. I consider Prof. W. D. Burns, the Principal, one of the best educators in the State, and believe parents can do no better than to place their boys and girls in Piedmont High School. M. E. PARRISH, Former Pastor First Baptist Church, Shelby, N. C. BIBLICAL RECORDER ORGAN OF THE BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION OF NORTH CAROLINA RALEIGH, N. C., MAY 8, 1909. Prof. W. D. Burns, Lawndale, N. C. Dear Prof. Burns:—Let me again say that I greatly appre¬ ciated my brief stay in your school and charming town. You are doing a great work. It was a joy to me to find you so happily fixed and so useful in making the world better. I bid you hearty God-speed in your work. With })est wishes, sincerely, HIGHT C. MOORE, Editor PIEDMONT SCHOOL AS A HEALTH RESORT Piedmont High School could not have been placed in a more healthful location. I know of no place in this section where the sanitary surroundings are better. Being situated on the top of a high mound, and having natural drainage in every direction, it cannot be contaminated from other lo¬ calities. The medicinal virtues of the mineral spring close by have been conclusively proven. E. B. LATTIMORE, M. D. I feel perfectly safe and conscientious in testifying to the healing virtues of the sulphur water near Piedmont High School. I have tested it sufficiently as a remedy for kidney and bladder trouble. J. L. McCURRY Elam Hall Newton Hall , 4 Musigmarhonian Halr Lawndale, North Carolina 41 LAWNDALE, N. C., May 26, 1902. Prof. W. D. Burns, Dear Sir:—With pleasure I can testify that I have used the water of the sulphur spring , and that I have been very much benefitted by its use. I am thoroughly convinced that it has medicinal properties of great value. Yours respectfullly, JOHN LATTIMORE SHELBY, N. C., May 26, 1903 In September, 1897, I went to Lawndale, utterly broken down, emaciated, and with nerves completely shattered, the effect of years of suffering from nervous indigestion and some stomach trouble. I had been treated by a number of good physicians and had tried many remedies, all in vain. For a long while I had been afriad to eat when hungry, or to drink water when thirsty. I soon discovered that I could, with im¬ punity, drink all the water I wanted from the spring near Piedmont High School, which, in view of the fact above stated, was a positive luxury to me, and I drank it freely. I soon felt better. I quit taking medicine, drank no other water, and my improvement was rapid and continuous, and in a few months my restoration to health was complete. This was considered very remarkable by all who had been acquainted with my former condition. The cure was permanent, and today I am stronger, stouter and younger (in feeling, at least) than I was twenty years ago. L. J. HOYLE, Clerk of Superior Court STATESVILLE, N. C., May 29, 1902. It is upon my personal experience that I give my testimony in favor of the mineral spring near Lawndale, N. C. After having suffered for thirty years with indigestion and catarrh of the head, throat and stomach, I was greatly benefitted by the use of the water in a few days and after having used it five weeks I could eat almost anything I wished with perfect satisfaction. The water is much cooler than most mineral water, and is very pleasant to the taste. J- S. LEONARD 42 Piedmont High School ROLL OF STUDENTS BUSINESS Alford, Cleon B.
